David Thrussel exhibits his huge Lee Hazelwood fetish with the release of "Buy
Me... I'll Change Your Life". David even goes as far as covering a classic
Hazelwood tune, 'Make the Little Flower Grow' with his own personal flair. Most
of the album also has a profound Spaghetti Western influence running throughout
including the use of stripped down percussion, acoustic guitar, and Country
melodies. Some of you might be beginning to panic at the thought of such a well
known artists being influenced by music played in line dancing bars, but rest
assured, there isn't a note of modern Country music on this CD. Instead, what
you are hearing is pioneer era Country & Western music mostly remembered on
classic Western television shows like Bonanza. If you have experience the
most recent Soma release, "The Inner Cinema", then you have a pretty good idea
what I am talking about. This fusion of modern electronics, percussion, and
Wild West rhythm is awe inspiring. I've never heard a better conceived genre
crossover in years. Even the token ballad, aptly titled 'The Ballad' includes
a female vocalist in a duet. Of course, the lyrical content of the album is
still very paranoid, full of conspiracy and radical governmental accusations
that we have come to expect from Snog. Yet the music is definitely quite unlike
anything else in existence, and without regret I suggest that you buy it, it
will change your life, it did mine.
